Description
The Essential Addons for Elementor – Best Elementor Templates, Widgets, Kits & WooCommerce Builders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Content Ticker arrow attribute in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
